Excerpt from Maud, and Other PoemsMaud.For there in the ghastly pit long since a body was found,His who had given me life - O father! O God! was it well? -Mangled, and flatten'd, and crush'd, and dinted into theThere yet lies the rock that fell with him when he fell.Did he fling himself down? who knows? for a great speculation had fail'd,And ever he mutter'd and madden'd, and ever wann'd with despair,And out he walk'd when the wind like a broken worldling wail'd,And the flying gold of the ruin'd woodlands drove thro' the air.
